SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill translates Chinese academic text into precise English, preserving academic tone and domain-specific terminology, and applying HGNC formatting rules for gene names.

Core Features & Use Cases

Academic-accurate translation: Preserves register and restructures Chinese sentences into standard English writing suitable for manuscripts, abstracts, and grant sections.
Domain-aware terminology: Consults the term-mapping.md in the references directory for canonical mappings (e.g., TCM terms, bioinformatics terms) and retains HGNC formatting for genes.
Post-translation refinement: Offers to pass output to english-polisher for further style and terminology polishing.

Quick Start

Paste the Chinese text you want translated to English and, optionally, specify the target domain (tcm, bioinformatics, clinical, or pharmacology).

FAQPage Schema

How do I translate Chinese academic text to English while preserving domain-specific terminology?▼

To translate Chinese academic text to English while preserving terminology, this Skill consults canonical term-mapping references for domains like TCM and bioinformatics. It enforces HGNC formatting for gene names and restructures sentences to maintain the academic register required for manuscripts and grant sections.

How does academic translation handle HGNC gene name formatting and unit preservation?▼

Academic translation enforces HGNC formatting for gene names automatically and preserves numbers and units exactly as written in the source text. This ensures bioinformatics and clinical manuscripts meet international submission standards without manual post-editing.

Can I use this to translate Traditional Chinese Medicine terms for English academic journals?▼

Yes, you can translate Traditional Chinese Medicine terms for English manuscripts by consulting the built-in term-mapping references. The Skill applies canonical mappings for TCM terminology to ensure accurate, journal-ready domain-specific translations.

What is the best way to translate a Chinese manuscript abstract into formal English?▼

The best way to translate a Chinese manuscript abstract into formal English is using a domain-aware translation process that restructures Chinese sentences into standard academic writing. You can optionally pass the output to an english-polisher for further style and terminology refinement.

Does this Chinese-to-English translation tool support pharmacology and clinical domains?▼

Yes, this Chinese-to-English translation tool supports pharmacology and clinical domains. You can specify the target domain before processing, allowing the Skill to apply the correct domain-specific terminology and translation decisions based on the target journal style.

Why does my Chinese academic translation lose the original register and domain tone?▼

Chinese academic translation loses register when standard translators ignore domain context. This Skill prevents that by applying domain-aware terminology mapping and restructuring sentences specifically for academic manuscripts, abstracts, and grant sections to maintain formal tone.
